While the players from both sides were still waiting in the tunnel, Dick had already walked out of the tunnel.
More than 63,000 fans poured into the entire Old Trafford stadium, including 20,000 Dortmund fans and 20,000 AC Milan fans. They clearly occupied the north and south sides of the stadium, wearing the club's home jersey.
All of them were neutral fans. This game attracted quite a lot of people. German Chancellor Schroeder appeared at the scene to support Dortmund, and the former players of Dortmund's Champions League team showed up at the scene without any hesitation.
——Klaus, Heinrich, Paulo Sousa, Kohler, Sammer, Chapuisat, Andreas Muller... They are in the same stand, and the current management of Dortmund
All the players were wearing Dortmund jerseys and cheering for their team.
AC Milan was naturally not to be outdone. The legendary Baresi appeared in the stands, Weah, Savicevic, Boban... Berlusconi, the boss behind AC Milan, came to the scene in a private helicopter on the day of the game.
The entire stand is a gathering of stars!
However, when Dick came out of the tunnel, all eyes were on him.
Dortmund fans gave out huge cheers, including those former Dortmund players, while AC Milan fans were booing Dick crazily. Everyone knows that in terms of overall strength, Dortmund is far inferior to
AC Milan, but because of Dick's command, they successively eliminated Real Madrid, which was no worse than AC Milan, and Atletico Madrid and Juventus entered the finals. In the eyes of AC Milan fans, this guy is AC Milan's biggest enemy.
!
Half sea water, half fire.
Half of it is outright worship, and half of it is hysterical disgust.
Such completely opposite emotions are enough to make most people feel at least extremely irritated, but Dick seems to enjoy such cheers.
He raised his hands and waved to the stands occupied by Dortmund fans, then turned to look at the stands occupied by AC Milan fans, and then he grinned.
Then he made a move that silenced the entire audience - the Champions League trophy was placed in the middle of the player tunnel, with two security guards standing next to it, but Dick walked over in a swaggering manner, and stood in front of him.
After getting close to the Champions League trophy, he raised his hand and touched the Champions League trophy, then pointed at the Champions League, and then pointed at himself!
The whole place was in an uproar.
"Cough cough cough cough..." A CCTV celebrity who was drinking water spit out all the tea. He coughed and said: "Di... Dick made such an action... What did he mean?
Well...I...I think he should be showing his confidence, Dick has always been a head coach who has the courage to show himself..."
"Arrogant Chinese! Doesn't he know what restraint is? He did such an unethical behavior in front of everyone before the game even started! It was really the ugliest scene in the Champions League final!" said the Italian commentator.
said angrily.
"Uh... Well... Dick always makes unexpected moves... But for Dortmund, who is at a disadvantage, perhaps it is because of Dick's attitude of never admitting defeat that he has always supported them moving forward...
"
After the scene was in an uproar for a while, the Dortmund fans began to laugh, and then began to clap their hands to celebrate Dick, while the AC Milan fans began to curse one after another, but regardless of whether they were angry
Neither scolding nor praise could make Dick change. He strolled to his coach's bench and sat down comfortably.
"This action of yours makes those guys almost explode..."
"That's the best." Dick chuckled.
This episode did not last long, because soon, under the leadership of the four referees, players from both sides began to enter the field. Dortmund's players also saw Dick's previous series of actions, which made
While they wanted to laugh, they also felt infinite pride in their hearts!
The leader has nothing to fear! He is so confident! Then if we follow his words, we will definitely win!
This is not superstition, but the results Dick has led the team to achieve this season have given them enough trust in Dick!
Since he dares to make such an action, he must be confident enough!
With this thought in mind, Dortmund's players walked onto the court with courage, waiting for the game to start.
The first to kick off was Dortmund.
Cavinagy passed the ball to Rivaldo, who passed it back to Rosicky, who came up from behind to receive the ball. Rosicky stopped the ball at his feet and looked up to observe the movement in the frontcourt.
Shevchenko and Inzaghi quickly came forward. Although they are both good offensive players, in such a game, they will still participate in defense.
Rosicky did not choose to force a breakthrough, but passed the ball sideways to Frings, who came up to respond. Frings did not dribble the ball, but pushed the ball with the arch of his foot and passed the ball to Rui who was on the edge of the cover.
special.
Ruit began to dribble the ball along the wing, and this time he advanced boldly - Dick said before the game that if you get the kick-off right in the first half, you must attack boldly in the first attack, but there are
One point is that when the attack fails, it is either a dead ball or a foul. You must not let the opponent easily get the ball and start a counterattack!
So Ruyter is very careful when moving forward. He has enough experience, and a formation like AC Milan is a bit weak in the midfield and wide...
Seedorf came over to defend Ruyt's progress, but at this time Ruyt, who was quite physically fit, moved the ball forward and then accelerated to break through!
Seedorf failed to stop Ruit's breakthrough in the first time, which allowed Ruit to break through the midfield and then started dribbling the ball from the wing. Everton moved to the wing to help him attract the opponent's attention.
.
Before Pirlo came to defend, Ruyt had already raised his foot and passed the ball directly to the edge of the penalty area!
Through running, Cavinaji appeared at the front of the penalty area. After receiving Ruit's pass, he immediately turned around and shot!
Cavinagi's shot was so sudden that even he felt that the opponent's defender would not appear on the route to block it immediately. However, when he just shot the ball, Nesta
Appeared in his shooting path, then turned his body slightly and blocked the ball with his body!
The ball bounced to the sideline. Costacurta wanted to control the ball, but at this time Rivaldo rushed up and used a very rare tackle to the ground to shovel the ball directly out of the sideline!
"Rivaldo was very active! This tackle prevented a counterattack by AC Milan. From the slow motion, we can see that when Costacurta was about to take the ball, Costa was already ready to respond, and
Shevchenko and Inzaghi in the frontcourt had already started running, Rivaldo destroyed the ball out of the baseline, and Dortmund won the opportunity to return to defense!"
Dick nodded slightly, it was good to be able to do this.
Ancelotti pursed his lips. He expected that such a game would be so difficult. After all, in such a final, even the laziest players would probably fight hard.
, not to mention Rivaldo, who has never had a Champions League honor?
For a player like him who is over 30 years old and has earned enough before and won all other honors except for such a heavyweight honor, he will definitely perform even more than usual in such a game.
Excellent!
However, Dortmund's determined defense also made Ancelotti feel that something was wrong.
He didn't have time to think anything was wrong, the players on the field had already started playing.
Costacurta threw a throw-in, and AC Milan began to attack. Pirlo controlled the ball at his feet and wanted to organize an attack. In his eyes, Dortmund's pressing was not very fierce, which made him feel a little strange.
So Pirlo began to choose to dribble the ball forward by himself. After passing through the center circle, he immediately knew why he felt that Dortmund's defense was not tight before!
After he entered Dortmund's half, the entire Dortmund half seemed to have received some signal and began to move quickly, just like the originally calm lake was filled with quiet piranhas. Once an enemy broke in
, and immediately began to devour crazily!
Cavinagi rushed towards Pirlo. Pirlo's ball control ability was able to control the ball very well, but when he looked up, he found that there seemed to be no passing route...
Seedorf is followed by Frings, Kyle is pressing Costa, Shevchenko and Inzaghi are under the tight surveillance of the opponent's defenders, and Rosicky and Rivaldo are watching... The entire Dortmund field
Except for goalkeeper Lehmann, the other ten people on the team all started to defend!
This made Pirlo's offensive organization go very smoothly. He finally seized an opportunity and passed the ball to Costa. Costa immediately distributed the ball to the left. After Seedorf received the ball, he attracted Ruit's
He paid attention and then passed the ball to Kaladze who was on the edge of the cover. Kaladze directly kicked the ball and made a pass. Warnes got ahead of Inzaghi and headed the ball out of the baseline.
After the clearance, Warnes breathed a sigh of relief. Inzaghi's movement was too weird. Such movement made Warnes, who had adapted to the Bundesliga confrontation, feel very uncomfortable, so he chose to make a clearance first.
Pirlo took a corner kick, Ismail and Inzaghi got entangled, and eventually the ball flew out of the sideline. Inzaghi complained that Ismail was pulling people, but in fact his actions were not small.
The referee gave them a warning at the same time, and each of them scored 50 points.
Dick nodded slightly. Judging from the current situation, if AC Milan is fully defensive, it will not be easy for AC Milan to find opportunities. Inzaghi's running is certainly troublesome, but Dortmund's two
Central defenders are all players who are very good at judging their placement. As long as they don't make mistakes, there won't be any problems!
In Dick's view, in this final, the most important thing for Dortmund is defense! If the defense cannot be guaranteed, then Dortmund will not have any chance of winning, because breaking through the gate of AC Milan is a very big thing.
Difficult thing, not to mention that although AC Milan's Serie A points are eleven points less than Juventus, due to style reasons, Dortmund can suppress Juventus, but cannot suppress AC Milan - because of the AC Milan midfielder
His technical content and running ability are no worse than Dortmund's.
"This is going to be a long battle..." Dick thought to himself.
